progressives

Can partisan Democrats please stop saying “progressives are dividing the party”. The party is already divided. The rift between progressives and the corporate centrists is real, and it won’t be mended by vote shaming or name calling.

We need to have a serious dialogue regarding policy, strategy, and what kind of country we want to live in. The Democratic establishment is making this next to impossible by using media hacks and think tank surrogates to slander anyone who dare critique them.

The democrat partisan base is so frightened by losing to a Republican, they fail to muster even an ounce of courage to perform an honest assessment of their party. Instead of performing a thorough analysis of why Clinton lost, the party machine immediately turned to blaming others. It’s better to cast blame around then to admit that decades of corporate centered policies and empty rhetoric collapsed the American middle class to them.

If we really want to beat Trump, we must nominate someone who can mend this rift and solve the many problems that Americans face. Another corporate cartoon of a politician will not do this. We need someone who will beat back the corporate stranglehold on our government, take bold action to address climate catastrophe, and implement a new economic model that is not built on inequality or exploitation.

If you believe the climate science, we literally have ten years to act. A soothsayer weather vain politician will not do, we need people of action! If you really fear Trumpism, work to nominate someone who will not only beat Trump, but someone who will enact policies to put right wing corporatism in its grave. Our very lives depend on this

The Democratic Establishment is working really hard to alienate their progressive base…again. The only time these people want Unity™️ is when they are shaming activists to vote for their hand picked unpalatable candidates.

With corporatists like Pelosi and Schumer in charge, we are headed for another four years of Trump

“Pelosi and the Democratic Party leadership’s support of Paygo makes actually solving these crises all but impossible. The Democratic Party leadership is unilaterally disarming and shooting themselves in the foot.”

Can you tell the difference between real progressives and fauxgressives yet?

“Newly-elected progressive members of Congress, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, abandoned their new member orientation at Harvard’s Kennedy School on Tuesday night [after realizing it was led by corporate lobbyists] to lead a rally in support of single-payer healthcare, gun control, and laws to fight climate change outside in the freezing cold.”

Barbara Lee is a progressive fighter that stood against the Patriot Act and War in Iraq. She lost the race for caucus leader to Hakeem Jefferies.

Hakeem Jefferies is a corporate tool who happens to be young and black. The media is claiming this is a monumental victory. This is why identity politics are trash. You end up with the same old politician with a different look

“It seems Democrats are absolutely determined to bring butter knives to every gunfight forever,” while host Joe Scarborough agreed the party was apparently “just quietly marching in line.”

“This process is illegitimate,” Scarborough said. “No judge in America would allow an opposing side to dump 150,000 documents on another party in a lawsuit the day before hearings started or a trial is started. I’m completely baffled. Why do Democrats—why are they even showing up? They should not show up.”
